Won twice over C&D early this year and he's now 2lb lower than for the second of them; showed signs of a return to form when fourth of nine at Lingfield three weeks ago; solid candidate.

J: Alec Voikhansky

T: Kevin Frost

Four-time AW winner who is 0-29 on turf but he ran well to finish third over C&D (good; 100-30 favourite) three weeks ago; rallied well in that race and he should be in the thick of things again off only 1lb higher.

Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas but the handicapper has been winning the argument since; a 0-28 turf record is enough reason to look elsewhere.

Led close home to score at Wolverhampton just before Christmas and ran creditably over C&D in February; raced wide from an outside draw back at Wolverhampton last time; that run is best ignored and he can bounce back.

J: Jack Callan

He has two impressive C&D wins on his record this winter; not at his best on his last two starts but he's not an easy horse to pass if breaking on terms; needs another personal best but it is not out of the question.

On a career-high mark but is difficult to dismiss, having recorded a clearcut win from the front over C&D on penultimate start; awkwardly away and unable to dominate at Lingfield latest.

Back to form with a bang when blitzing his rivals at Wolverhampton last week, setting strong fractions and coming home 3.25l in front; 3lb well in under a penalty and he is better drawn today than when widest of all at Wolverhampton; effective over C&D; obvious chance.

Came to hand early for the Coles as a 2yo, including a 5f Polytrack win on debut; poor form in three runs for Lawrence Mullaney last autumn but dropped 11lb as a result; starts out for new yard (same owners) with a visor fitted and she's one to note for market confidence.

Placed at Newmarket in her only previous handicap start at 5f and was hampered early next time; only sixth when favourite at Yarmouth 17 days ago but that was again over 6f and perhaps 5f suits best.

By Cracksman out of a 1m winner so not an obvious candidate for 5f; that said, she has shown some speed in her races, including over 7f on her handicap debut here two weeks ago; others still more appealing.
